Weep, Woman, Weep by Maria DeBlassie

4.0

A short novella about the grief of women that carries generational trauma within it, this story takes the legend of La Llarona and makes it feel like something happening next door. We follow a lonely young woman as she grows up haunted by tales of La Llarona, and seeing what the figure in white has done to other women in her small town. Women seem to be bred to be docile, to be subjected to the wims of uncaring men, to be mothers to daughters who may one day become the next victim. But some curses need to be broken.

My thanks for the opportunity to read this ARC, I thoroughly enjoyed this read!
